Raising Expectations

For two young New York City sisters sharing a room, privacy and equality was essential. Wisely, their parents involved them in the design, and turned to Fahey to create a fun and functional space where the siblings could express their individual personalities.

Fahey cleverly actualized extra floor space in the small, shared bedroom with these cost-efficient Baltic Birch plywood loft beds. The floating effect was achieved through custom woodwork and use of bright color. Edges were left bare to expose the layering, allowing the natural beauty of the product to shine; and each sibling was able to display her own books, trinkets and treasures with custom-built shelving and cubbies.
